#Step-by-step process
1
Review revenue and costs
Look at income against expenses.
2
Check profitability
Review profitability and margins available in Finance.
3
Spot problem areas
Find low-margin work or rising costs.
4
Decide actions
Adjust pricing, scope, or costs.
#Decision points
Decisions to make along the way
- Which work is unprofitable?
- What to change?
#Approval points
No formal approval gate
This routine has no separate sign-off step, but review your work before it affects clients or finances.
#Success metrics
- Improving margins
- Fewer loss-making engagements
#Best practices
- Look at margin, not just revenue.
- Act on low-margin patterns.
#Common mistakes
- Focusing on revenue while ignoring cost.
- Not acting on thin margins.
#Realistic example
In practice
The monthly review shows one service line runs thin margins; leadership adjusts its pricing for new work.
